Hello! Been registered on here since last May but never formally said 'Hello'. I own a '91 FZR600 which I swapped for a Honda CB400 Superfour - seem to remember Goff being on 400GB for a while? I have found some useful advice and some bargains on here (thanks mad73!). I need to put a wanted thread up but according to the post police , I am a newbie so thought I'd finally introduce myself! Bonzo.

Hi guys Me and my friend have decided to go round Europe on our bikes in the summer and i have so many qustions!! 1) My bike is only insured TPFT, do you think this is asking for trouble on a long ride? 2) Is there any decent luggage racks for a 2008 R6 that people have used? 3) Where are the best places to go on your bike? Im sure i'll have more nearer the time but thats good for now, any help would be great!! Cheers

Hi chap's just bought myself a 57 plate R1 and am loving it !!!!!! I'm new to this forum so please be kind I had a supermoto before which was great fun, but i thought I'd try a sports bike for a change, I never knew my wrists could hurt so much after the first ride on the R1, but thank god it's getting better, (not that I'm limp wristed you know ) Anyway are there any people in the Gloucestershire / Midland's area that ride on occasion and would'nt mind a tail ender tagging along? Many Thanks

Hi all, Just wondering, all the people who have done the seat conversion to their FZR seem to have used R6 parts. Any reason not to use R1 parts of similar shape? Thanks Vic

hi,peeps anyone out there bought the fiat moto gp fairings for a 2004 r6? i was thinking about buying some only i wondered what the quality was like.i am a paint sprayer so i could do it myself but cant be arsed at the price they go for.and i would still have my originals!

Just leaving the town i live in doing 60mph on a slight bend, i saw a Grey people carrier waiting at an exit to a horse riding place. Assuming he had seen me (Which should of been easy as the line of sight was clear) i didn't ease off... Then bang he goes and pulls out. Slammed the anchors on thankfully (luckily) i managed to manouver and pass him on the inside stopping a few metres infront of him. He just drives passed me as if nothing had happened... I followed him to some traffic lights, pulled up beside him and asked him politely "What the fuck are you playing at you twat" He replied "You weren't at the bend when i pulled out" and "You were going far to fast" Hmmm..…

Hello everybody, Gravesone here. I've just got myself a FZR400 WG1 Genesis on a 86' plate, which I'm in the process of stripping down and bringing it back to it's former glory. I haven't had a Jap bike for over 30 years, my last one was an RD250. I'll be needing quite a bit of help and advice on the refurb. Your help will be much appreciated. By the time it's finished (12 months approx) it will take on a 'Stevie Baker' colour scheme. The previous owner has had the chain 'hand grenade' on him smashing the water-pump, I've had a quote for £241 direct from Japan , does anybody know anywhere I stand a chance of getting one? The whole bike didn't cost much…

Hi all, just joined here, and just bought a 2008 ybr 125, having done cbt at age 46 (fellow trainees aged 17-24, and all much more competent). Scary ride home from the shop, several stalls, two involuntary wheelies. Since then (last thu) have just practised throttle and clutch control round local streets. I'm probably a bit unusual having never owned a petrol vehicle before, but have cycled since age five. Plan to get out into the countryside around Newcastle soon, and swotting up for theory test.

Hi there, I bought an open face helmet last week, and took the visor out - presumably its still "street legal?" as its not compromising the overall integrity of the helmet - supose its down to the failure modes of the helmet - i.e. i might have done myself a favour by removing it - for instance, if I were to crash, a shard of the visor could poke an eye, or even 2, or en a pair of eyes, and a piuerced throat (hmmm - I know - pessimistic, but it could happen...)... So tell me peeps, would I get pulled over for wearing my open face without the visor, and of course, with my terminator shades?!?!.. regards, -Mits-
